Animation Advanced Professional Certificate Program

Animation Certificate Program Overview

The curriculum is designed for students who already have a Bachelor’s Degree (BA, BS, or BFA in any major) and wish to pursue a professional career as an animator. Students with no previous art experience may take required foundation prerequisites before or concurrent with the program.

Olivia Khamsombath Animation Major, Class of 2014 - “The most important thing I’ve learned as a student here is that nothing is perfect, nothing is precious,” she says. “If something isn’t working, just let it go. Keep trying to be a better artist. Keep drawing and drawing and drawing.”
